A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

If you're really feeling tormented, you should talk to her yourself and make things clear! Sometimes honesty works better.

After saying that, Aaron turned and left.

"Whoosh!" ×2.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Oh dear! This is a tough situation." Harry said with a wry smile, "We've managed to get away with it, but we can't follow him anymore, otherwise he'll definitely find something out."

"yes!

We can't exactly go to the Slytherin common room and wait for him, can we?

I don't even know the Slytherin password!

"We'll have to think of another way."

......

bathroom.

Harry and Ron were anxiously crouching at the doorway, hidden behind their invisibility cloaks.

Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump was the dumbest, but safest, method they came up with after thinking about it all night; it just took a little longer.

Since get out of class ended, at least dozens of students have gone to the restroom, but their target has yet to appear.

"Harry, shall we go back?"

If I stay any longer, I'll start to feel like a freak.

"Let's wait a little longer!"

We've waited so long, Aaron will definitely come.

"But we've been waiting for three hours."

"The longer the time, the greater the chance of waiting for him."

“It might be smaller.” Ron pursed his lips, but ultimately stayed with Harry and waited.

Perhaps their patience played a role, because Aaron arrived a few minutes later.

Seeing the white cat following him, the two were very excited and couldn't wait to catch it.

A moment later, Aaron closed the door, leaving Abe on the sink, standing guard outside like a sentry.

"Is everything ready?"

“Ready.” Ron immediately took out a lunchbox containing two chicken legs.

"Alright, it all comes down to this."

The two carefully walked over, opened the box, and gently placed it on the ground.

Under the cloaks of invisibility, the two used their robes to fan themselves, trying to spread the aroma of the chicken legs as far as possible.

Abe, who was squatting on the sink looking in the mirror, smelled the odor and immediately perked up his ears, pushing his hat up two centimeters.

It looked around, walked to the door under the expectant gazes of the two people, and then found the neatly arranged lunch boxes.

Abe's eyes widened instantly, becoming exceptionally bright, because it spotted its favorite food.

"Eat, eat quickly, eat quickly!" the two thought excitedly, having prepared for this moment for several days.

But Abe's next actions left them stunned, bewildered, and speechless.

Abe approached the lunchbox and sniffed it carefully, then turned his head to look around, focusing on the location of the invisibility cloak.

After confirming that no one was around, a hint of doubt appeared in its bright eyes.

A few seconds later, the white cat, suppressing its craving for food, wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth, covered the food container with its two paws, and then walked into the bathroom, looking back every few steps.

Food that has fallen on the ground cannot be eaten, and food that looks like someone else's food is even more unacceptable. This is what my master taught me, and I, the dragon, am also well-mannered.

Chapter 49: In the end, he was dragged onto the pirate ship.

"What?" Ron's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could this be?"

“Hagrid’s suspicions about the cat aren’t without reason, but even the most self-disciplined cat has its limits!” Harry said with a sigh. “Never mind that for now, let’s grab our things and get out of here.”

"Withdraw? Then all that waiting has been for nothing?" Ron was somewhat unwilling. They had worked hard for several days, and their plan was so perfect that no one could find fault with it, but the result was hard to accept.

"We have to retreat, or Aaron will come out soon."

What do you think he'll think when he sees those two chicken legs?

"I, this..." Ron was about to say something when the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Harry knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately put away the lunchbox and covered Ron's mouth.

After Aaron walked past the door, the two put away their invisibility cloaks, looked at each other, and their eyes were full of helplessness.

“This cat is definitely sentient,” Ron said indignantly.

“Sigh!” Harry sighed. “If Hagrid hadn’t been so adamant, I would have given up.”

No, Harry.

I'm not willing to suffer such a huge loss over a cat, are you?

"Of course I'm not willing to give in."

"Then let's go back and discuss the battle plan again."

I refuse to believe that the two of us can't handle a cat.

Harry pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Back in the Gryffindor common room, the two of them resumed their gloomy expressions.

“Food temptation probably won’t work,” Ron said. “Abe is very cautious and won’t eat food from strangers, let alone food left in the corner.”

“No, that’s not right.” Harry expressed a different opinion. “It’s not that the food is bad. You saw what it was like just now. Its drool was practically dripping from the doorway to the sink, but it managed to suppress its craving for food.”

"Then what do you mean?"

“It’s a human,” Harry said confidently. “It only dares to eat when Aaron is around.”

“That’s it,” Ron said with a wry smile.

Even if Abe is asleep, they probably won't be able to take him away if Aaron is here. They can't just tie up the cat and the person together!

That would completely change the nature of the situation; they wouldn't dare.

Even if they had the guts, they didn't have the ability.

Aaron's academic performance was unanimously recognized by all the professors, and he also seemed to have fought trolls alongside Snape.

With such a record, even if he and Harry were to team up, they might not be a match for him.

“It’s not like there’s no way,” Harry said hesitantly. “Aaron said there are two other people at school who could lower Abel’s guard: Draco and…”

"Hermione?" Ron was surprised, his expression turning strange. "You don't mean her, do you?"

"Yes."

"Impossible, Harry."

Have you forgotten that she was against us taking action against Abe?

Not to mention asking her for help or joining us in our wrongdoings.

"It is quite difficult, but it is currently the only reliable method."

To complete Hagrid's mission, we have four potential breakthroughs.

One is Aaron, who wouldn't entrust his pet to Hagrid for inspection; the success rate is zero, so he can be ruled out.

The other one is Abe himself. We've tried it these past few days. He's contributed a lot, but he just can't seem to get used to it. Let's say the success rate is 10%.

The third is Malfoy; he can hold Abbey and feed it like Aaron did.

“This one should be ruled out immediately,” Ron said dismissively. “No need to consider it; his success rate is absolutely negative.”

"So, only Hermione is left."

She is Aaron's good friend and can hug Abe without any hindrance. More importantly, she knows a lot about the Philosopher's Stone, Moose, Snape, and so on.

As long as we appeal to their emotions and reason with them...

"Don't forget to swallow your pride," Ron added helplessly.

“Yes, swallow your pride.” Harry’s lips twitched, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.

Both of them knew that as long as they were willing to swallow their pride and ask Hermione for help, she would definitely not turn a blind eye, but this was the hardest step for them, as it hurt their pride!

"I have to go, even if it means losing face. This is my last chance."

Only by knowing who was involved in designing those mechanisms can we keep track of Snape's progress.

"Alright! So what if we lose face!" Ron nodded helplessly, comforting himself, "As long as we don't let Snape succeed, we've done a great service for Hogwarts."

Maybe by the end of the semester, I can add another 100 points and win the college cup.

The two made a decision and immediately took out the review materials Hermione had given them, enduring the agony of studying them.

If you're going to ask someone for a favor, you have to be prepared to ask for it first.

If Hermione saw how hard they were working and how much effort they were putting in, she would definitely listen to them finish what they had to say.

However, their ideals were far from reality. The two wanted to perform well, but they didn't expect Hermione to not return to the common room until curfew.

By this time, their eyelids were already drooping, but they still looked like they were working so hard they forgot to eat and sleep. They were really going all out, but it looked a bit comical.

“That’s enough for you guys,” Hermione said, her lips twitching. “Studying requires a balance of work and rest. You should all go to bed now.”

Hearing Hermione's voice, the two snapped out of their daze, their confused eyes instantly brightening.

“Hermione, you’re finally back,” Ron said, almost crying with joy.

"We've only been apart for half a day! Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

“No!” Harry put on his glasses. “What’s that saying again? ‘A day apart feels like three autumns.’ I’ve truly experienced that today.”

"I am truly flattered by your kindness!"
